Debut '93 - Snoop Dogg's 'Doggystyle' (LA) vs. Mac Dre's 'Young Black Brotha' (Bay)

[Mac Casper]

Both of these albums were released in November of 1993

Both of them are near 20 tracks

And both of them are hailed for the production. Obviously more money was put into the marketing of Doggystyle but Young Black Brotha holds it's own, both albums have stood the test of time and both albums are from eclectic entertainers who would both go on to exhibit influence from Bootsy Collins, pimping and funk.

Production is solid on both albums, Doggystyle has an advantage sonically but Khayree did a great job of putting together some amazing tracks for Mac Dre's debut.

If anybody needs a link to to YBB let me know and I'll shoot you a message

Doggystyle is really only 13 songs tho, it was broken up into 18 tracks so you could skip the skits.

i listened to YBB once a few years ago, it didn't impact me like Doggystyle did but i will give it another go i guess

i like Doggystyle more and i think its just a better album.



Bizarre Ride II vs 93 'til Infinity would have been a better debate



The Unseen by Madlib vs My Vinyl Weighs a Ton by Peanut Butter Wolf would be a nice little LA vs Bay topic as well.

and what about MC Eigt vs Spice 1?

YBB and Doggystyle damn.....bumped the sh1t outta them tapes. YBB, damn, don't even know how many cats outside of cali even heard that album, fa'real.....even after his death.

Back then Khayree was outta control with the production....
